Strange observation

Not really a question but more of a strange observation, when I put my hands on my lower tummy the right side is normal temperature but the left side is cold and always is. I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed this. I don't ever remember that side being hot when it was inflamed either.

Probably, actually that reminded me. i was in hospital many moons ago when i was 18 months old, they were testing my heart for circulation and had my legs spread wide and strapped to the side of the cot to collect my pooo. omg, how disgraceful! still suffering such undignified behaviour as an adult lol.
 
Oh dear got my left and right mixed up I meant my lower right side was cold not left (can't even blame the wine on the typo!!) Yes my extremities are also cold but not as bad now as in remission. I do believe it's circulation as I've had surgery there just was wondering if anyone else was similar. Thanks for the replies
